Bible Reading Plan

Okay, so a few years ago we had a thread & we read through the Bible in a year. It was a great way for accountability.

Anyone up for something like that again. I'm currently doing another plan (will happily post details if anyone is interested) but maybe just a general accountability thread?

I need it, I've been struggling.

I wanna see your plan. I need help in that department. I read through the Bible in about a year and a half and i've read here and there since, but I've been really slacking. I feel better when I read it and I know that, but then I just get busy with other things.

Right now, I'm using Professor Horner's Bible Reading Plan. I read 10 chapters a day. It isn't a "study" nor a "speed read" - but somewhere between the two. Takes me about 35 minutes a day to get through the ten chapters, and it has been *really* awesome.

This is the website for that: http://www.wbfva.org/files/professor_grant_horners_bible_reading_system.pdf

Thanks! What translation of the Bible do you read?

Up until recently I stuck with NIV. The new study Bible that was given to me as a gift is Holman Christian Standard.

I read the NIV all the way through and since then i'm between that and the king james  .

I have a sweet friend who reads a different version all the way through every single year. She said it's been a very interesting experience, and she's definitely found the translations that have worked best for her. I seem to like HCS, and I'm enjoying the study I'm doing (been doing it 7 months now) but it can just be difficult! I feel like I've gotten so much out of it, but I've also never had this bad of a spiritual battle before...two total extremes.

My MIL has read several translations, although I couldn't tell you which ones. She cross-references them with each other when she studies. You can be sure to see a couple of bibles laying open when you go to her house...love it! I hate the spiritual battle, but just keep leaning on the Lord and He'll get you through!

I was in that thread! I'd be up for doing that again. Right now we're reading Crazy Love at church in our small group and I love it. Its very difficult because its convicting but its great.

Were you? It has been so long that I don't remember a lot of the "regulars" from it.

I also have a pretty cool NT plan that is supposed to help you really focus on memorizing, and grasping full context. I think it is still linked in my profile.

I love my study Bible

I grabbed Crazy Love one day when it was free for kindle on Amazon. Thanks for reminding me

its amazing. But be warned, it's one of the hardest studies I've ever done. He calls you out on being a lukewarm christian. Its hard to take.
